| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tyche of Antioch facing right, wearing a distinctive mural crown (turreted headdress) rendered with architectural battlements, her hair veiled and falling in loose locks behind the neck. The portrait is rendered in a bold, somewhat provincial Hellenistic style with strong facial features. The Greek legend ANTIOXEΩN curves around the right field, identifying the city. A dotted border frames the design. |

| Reverse description | A garlanded and lighted altar at centre, depicted frontally with flames rising from its flat top and festoons of laurel draped across its sides, set within a laurel wreath border. The altar rests on a stepped base, and the overall composition is enclosed within a dotted border. The Greek date formula ET·ΔIP appears in the exergue below the altar, recording regnal year 114 of the Caesarean era. The design reflects the civic religious iconography characteristic of Antiochene bronze coinage of the first century AD. |
